Night nominee

The night stretches like velvet over the soul of the villages, whispering stories of light and shadows. Through the technique of multiple exposures, this project explores the hidden energy of the night, seeking to capture its poetry, beauty, and mystery. Each shot is a fragment of a dream, a balance between fleeting glimmers and deep shadows that transform silence into a visual language.
In Velvet Darkness, the night is not just a backdrop, but a protagonist: alive, luminous, vibrant, revealed in all its complexity. An ethereal journey where the real merges with the imagined, unveiling the secret soul of the villages.
